Hudson Furniture

Hudson Furniture Inc. respects the natural forms of
trees and inherent grain of wood with well defined organic
lines and geometric forms using traditional joinery techniques
and hand rubbed oil finishes. All Hudson furniture is
available in custom dimensions, custom finishes and a
variety of wood species such as Claro Walnut, Black Walnut,
Myrtle, Jasmine, Acacia, Satinwood and Ebonized Pine.

None of the woods we use are harvested from old growth
forests. Our wood slabs are domestically sourced from
either salvaged trees or wind/storm damaged trees. The
trees have an average life span of 250-300 years. When
these trees die, they gradually do so from the crest
to the roots. The farmers or the tree owners thus have
to remove these trees as they might cause damage to houses,
other trees or outlying areas. We integrate various wood
species into our designs to produce unique works of art.

"We put high regard and value on these trees by
turning them into pieces of enduring art instead of leaving
them out to decay," Barlas Baylar, Hudson Furniture
Inc. founder and designer.

Hudson Furniture Inc. is also New York's only repository
for legally harvested petrified wood. For Hudson Furniture
Inc. it was second nature to explore petrified wood as
an extension of its already existing collection of organic
contemporary designs. Petrified wood, having the visual
characteristics of wood but the feel of stone, represents
a contemporary fusion of the two original materials into
a new compelling organic interior accessory. Hudson Furniture
Inc.'s owner Barlas Baylar takes extra precaution with
embassies and consulates to seek approvals and legalities
of petrified wood exportation from all regions of the
world. Hudson Furniture Inc. has also recently added
a line of solid walnut furniture designs by startchitects
Renzo Piano, Mario Botta and Terry Dwan.
